His does. From his cpuinfo:

processor : 7
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 1
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1.40GHz
stepping : 1
cpu MHz : 1399.982
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm
bogomips : 2798.38

See that ht flag near the end?

Don't know why he doesn't go with RH 9 or RH AS though.
